Getting Down to ActiveRain Basics ~ Making Colorful Comments...
I often get asked by newbies and some old timers how do I get colored comments. In my ongoing self help video series - Getting Down to ActiveRain basics, I will demonstrate how you can use Firefox and the Scribefire plug-in to accomplish this. Click on the interactive links to get the Firefox browser and Scribefire Plug-in. I hope that this helps.

Michael, I love my Scribefire! I use it to write my blog posts and to comment back to people who leave me a comment. It makes it ever so much easier!

Thanks for sharing this Michael. I just started using Scribefire and although it seems relatively easy, this will get me through the learning curve quickly! Thanks for the helpful post!

Michael, good tip for incorporating the use of ScribeFire in writing posts and comments. ScribeFire does the trick. Thanks for the tip and tutorial.

Michael, I feel like such a rube, I have tried so many times to get colorful with Scribefire but the instructions may as well be written in Chinese. I just can't get the hang of it. Maybe a trip to the Western end of the state for assistance?

I love firefox most of the time, but it doesn't work with Remax's database/sw and some other things too..I will bookmark this b/c I couldn't get scribefire to work for me!

Micheal is there another way without using foxfire? I am so afraid of loading it on my machine.

Michael - I've seen a number of ActiveRain members use ScribeFire. However, at this point, I am not using it yet.

ScribeFire is what I use for all my blogs!
It's free, easy to use and really spices up my posts.
Great tutorial Michael.
Keep 'em coming!

Michael,

I am down in Mexico so I think about the most colorful comment I can make is with words. Pretty clunky online where I am.

The RIGHT CHARLOTTE REALTOR!

Well, where did you find that Charlotte NC luxury home site you used in your demonstration?! I had to reinstall Firefox a while back and lost my ScribeFire and had not re-loaded it. You've prompted me to get it done! And, you're SO right--it takes a matter of seconds! Love it!
